I installed FL Studio (version 10) in Wine (version 1.3.36).
Installation works correctly. The program also starts correctly after
installation, and appears to be fully functional, but it's totally
invisible. Only the task bar entry in the KDE task manager bar appears
and the initial dialog from FL Studio that informs me about this being a
demo version.
I know that the application is functional because, even though
absolutely nothing is visible, if I press SPACE, the demo song starts to
play.
Any hints on what could be wrong? I even moved my current ~/.wine
directory somewhere else and let winecfg create a new one to make sure I
didn't have messed up settings and did a clean install of the
application, but the problem persists. Any help is appreciated. I can
see in the WineHQ database that this application should run fine in
Wine, and I also find YouTube videos showing it run correctly in Wine,
but I see no mention of my particular problem anywhere (which, as you
can imagine, renders the application unusable since nothing is visible).
Btw, just to clarify, when I say "invisible", I really mean that. It's
not that the application actually displays in an empty window or
something like that. I mean that absolutely nothing is displayed at
all. Not even an empty window. All I see when starting it is my
desktop as if nothing had happened (but the application actually runs
and receives keyboard events when I click on its task manager entry in
KDE to make it active.)
I'm using Gentoo Linux AMD64, with kernel 3.2.0.
